Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA village in the Cetiya country near Bhaddavatika. When the Buddha was on tour near there he was repeatedly warned by the cowherds not to go to Ambatittha as in the Jatilas hermitage in the village dwelt a mighty Naga. While the Buddha was yet in Bhaddavatika the Elder Sagata went to the Jatilas hermitage and took up his abode near the fireplace. The Naga showed his resentment, but Sagata was able to overcome him by means of his iddhi powers. Later Sagata visited the Buddha at Bhaddavatika and went with him to Kosambi. The fame of the Elders victory over the Naga had preceded him and the inhabitants of Kosambi were lavish in their hospitality to him. He drank wine in their houses and had to be carried to see the Buddha. The latter made this the occasion for declaring the drinking of intoxicants to be a pacittiya offence. Vin.iv.108-10; AA.i.178.
